4. Betjeningsvejledning
4.1-kanals drift
Each channel on the PMP6000 offers dedicated controls for optimal sound shaping:
- Gain Control: Adjust the input sensitivity for each microphone or instrument. Monitor the Clip LEDs to prevent signal overload.
- EQ sektion: Use the 3-band EQ (High, Mid, Low) on mono channels to adjust the tonal characteristics. The Low cut filter can be engaged to eliminate unwanted infrasonics.
- FX Sends: Route signals to the internal effects processors using the FX send controls.
- Fadere: Control the individual channel volume levels.
4.2 Effects Processing
The PMP6000 features two independent 24-bit FX processors. Select from 100 digital effect presets (e.g., delay, chorus, reverb) and apply them to any channel, as well as to the monitors and main output. A footswitch jack is available for remote on/off control of the FX processors.
4.3 FBQ Feedback Detection System
To eliminate feedback, press the FBQ button. The red LEDs on the 7-band graphic EQ will illuminate, indicating the frequencies causing feedback. Adjust the corresponding EQ sliders downwards to remove the feedback without compromising overall sound quality.
4.4 Specialfunktioner
- Stemmeannullerer: Engage this switch when playing music through the CD/TAPE inputs to reduce or remove the lead vocals, ideal for karaoke.
- Standby-kontakt: Mutes all microphone input channels during breaks, allowing background music to play through the CD/TAPE input without microphone interference.
